"Activation codes" normally indicates to a user that this is a code to unlock a trial version of a program, which we know is not the case with OpenOffice. The same term is often used by unofficial sites offering a tainted download of OpenOffice, in their attempt to get money from downloaders. Perhaps "Verification code" or "Security verification" might be a better choice for the term. I'm sure there may even be better terms than those - I'm in haste as I have to leave for a meeting and am not devoting my full attention to the naming. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
